#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Some awesome shots there. Always loved this pullback.The shot of a camera looking up from the ground, often through something glass or an object made transparent is very much a signature BB shot.

DreamTheater 131 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Some awesome shots there, I agree. Like Jesse doing a Björk. If I didn't know any better I'd say this comes out of a cheesy horror flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Well, I'm actually referring to the Dutch edition. I'm not entirely sure if the US release is the same. The Dutch version has a sturdy outer box, but the individual seasons come in what are basically cardboard sleeves. I had hoped for something more substantial to protect one of my favorite shows.

Popular Post mrbellamy 6,270 Posted February 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2017 Well, another one bites the dust here. Finally decided to start watching this show a month ago, naively thinking it would be something I could pick at till maybe the summer. Of course I heard it was addictive, but I've never been a huge binge-watcher, even Twin Peaks took me several months to finally get around to finishing. Needless to say I just finished watching "Rabid Dog" through "Felina" last night. Obviously everybody pretty much covered everything in this thread but yeah, incredible! Biggest surprise for me right off the bat was the near-perfect linearity with minimal time jumps, I was pretty tickled by the novelty of picking up S1E2 directly from the morning after the bedroom scene, and then quickly settled into that being the norm. Also was pretty surprised how quickly everything was set into motion by the end of the Pilot. The intimacy of the show was also a great surprise for me. Between all the "You're goddamn right" and "I am the one who knocks" memes and the "All hail the king" posters and such, I had been under the impression that Heisenberg became this sort of OTT legendary kingpin....I basically took Vince Gilligan's "Mr Chips to Scarface" line literally and assumed everything was just going to keep getting bigger and more "explosive" and I guess in some ways it did, but it also became far more personal (also funny in retrospect that I never considered Walt wouldn't actually do drugs himself....Gus's "Never trust an addict" mantra introduced an interesting dynamic to that kind of corporate drug distribution.) So I was kinda surprised Gus lived as long as he did, because it meant Season 5 didn't progress nearly like how I would have imagined at the beginning. The shift in tone to a much more muted kind of personal drama was unsettling, especially with Walt's relationships with Skyler, Jesse, Mike, and Hank, and "Heisenberg" never became the sort of larger-than-life omnipresent villainous persona that I assumed. When the famous "Say My Name" cold open finally rolled around, I realized just how little the name had actually been mentioned up to that point, and I realized its significance was much more internal, like when Hank whispers it to Walt's face in the garage, angry and haunted. Similarly, I also had heard a bit about the much-discussed "Ozymandias" shootout/confrontation going in, but didn't realize how personal the stakes would be at that point in the story....I had previously assumed that showdown was going to be over some sort of massive deal, but the drugs and the money had long become an afterthought (again, which made removing Gus Fring from the equation for Season 5 so interesting, coupled with Walt leaving the business....Gus's character/status was actually a lot like how I originally presumed Walt/Heisenberg would evolve into, but I then realized he was never going to be that, because how could he? Instead I was gratified to see the focus move away from the business and into the unraveling of these personal relationships.) That was something that occurred to me as well as I was watching "Felina".....knowing how big and popular this show became, Vince Gilligan et al never seemed to lose the big picture. Of course I'm sure there are things that happened in the last couple seasons that they technically may not have been able to accomplish with their resources in Season 1, but the scale always felt appropriate even at its most outlandish, and always tempered with its keen, often wonderfully perverse sense of humor and drama (the very matter-of-fact presentation of Gus's death for example.) Part of me wishes I could have been watching along with everyone else because I know how much fun hype and speculation can be, but there was also something very satisfying about being able to run straight through this particular show, taking all the twists and turns as they came without weeks or months in between to overthink the details or predict what would happen. Not to say I was completely spoiler-free.....along with the stuff I'd heard before through memes/discussion (I knew about Hank's death already, unfortunately...or maybe fortunately), I have to confess that sometimes the suspense and heartbreak were too much to bear Never actually watched anything ahead, but sometimes I would go to YouTube and peek at a search results page to see if it had brought up anything ("Walt tells Jesse he killed Jane") or not ("Jesse Pinkman death scene") or Googling things like "Which season Walt tells Skyler he's cooking." Sorry, I'm weak! Anyway, hell of a great yarn. Probably gonna go back and skim through again soon to watch key episodes/moments. And I hope Jesse made it to Alaska. crumbs, Taikomochi and Jay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,270 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 By the way, forgot to ask, is there any consensus on Better Call Saul here? People watching/enjoying? Not to say I want to fall into the trap of "I missed the original's run, but I can still have all the magic with the prequel!" but figuring I'll give it a shot. The prospect of more Mike Ehrmentraut is enough to start, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 It takes a little bit of time before you'll realise that though. Maybe 1 1/2 seasons worth. Better Call Saul is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,287 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 It's not as good as Breaking Bad but it's also a totally different show. They're hard to compare. I will say that it's a slow burner but incredibly rewarding the further in you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 In terms of writing sophistication and craftsmanship it isn't all that different. The theme of Jimmy and Chuck is a world apart from anything from Breaking Bad though, of course. I would say I prefer BB over Saul, but that's subjective. Objectively, they're both very high end in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 When the writing, acting and general production are that strong, it doesn't really matter if it wont ever be quite as good as Breaking Bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 2/26/2017 at 1:24 AM, mrbellamy said: By the way, forgot to ask, is there any consensus on Better Call Saul here? People watching/enjoying? Better Call Saul is nothing short of incredible. I was super, super sceptical about it; I basically consider Breaking Bad the best show every made, and thought it did not and should not have a prequel. Well, I should have had faith in Vince Gilligan, because the show completely changed my mind. Better Call Saul is utterfly fantastic, featuring some of the absolute best writing and acting on TV. Michael McKean is fantastic everytime, and Rhea Seehorn is playing one of the most interesting characters on TV to perfection. The show is all about the characters and how their actions affect their relationships, while featuring a pretty darn interesting plot along the way. While I have a feeling it won't ultimately end up being better than Breaking Bad by the end (who knows, though!), I like it more than I did Breaking Bad at this point in its run. In other words, while I love Breaking Bad, I didn't at first, and thought Season 1 had some real rough patches (especially the first 3 episodes). I thought with that show, each season was better than the last until it ended with the best final season, and the best final 3 episodes in television history. Better Call Saul on the other hand has been spectacular in its first 2 seasons. I hope Season 3 is just as good and have no reason to expect it not to be! The writing is incredible, the best thing about it is you really can just never predict where the story is going to go, no matter how much TV you watch. Vince & co are really experts at that. Great show! mrbellamy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
